TELEPATHY text / voice / image / action Akira doesn't have a bird with which to exchange written messages! But you can send him one anyway and he'll just. . . use your bird to reply. . . probably. code credit

[ LOOK HE'S SCARED... Keaton can't save him from ghosts either, so. who can save him? ]

... with reality? Are you saying that you never died, which also makes you not a ghost, and that she's just making it up?

[ actually, this could make some sense. divergent timelines. stories that never happened. what-ifs. he knows they exist, even in his world. ]

I'll... okay. I believe you. After all, you said you wouldn't lie to a fox! Better never forget.

[ kaden will remember that. ]

[KADEN ;o;]

She's not-- well. She's not making it up.

[Makoto would never purposefully lie about something like that, joke or not]

There's something out there messing with her memories, that's all. I guess it's similar to an alternate timeline-- [he makes a face] -- only this one never happened.

[firm emphasis on never happened]

[ they are 2spook5him, Akira!!! ]

Well, if that's the case... are you saying there was a real chance you could've been...

[ but that hurts him just as much, seeing the face of someone who was in real danger at some point? what exactly were these teenagers up to, shouldn't they be having the time of their lives and being dancing queens and/or kings???

sorry but ABBA is on my playlist right now ]

... will she be okay? Is there anyone else you know that's affected?

[purrtagonist]

[THAT. . . first thought isn't one he wants to answer. not yet. not now. so when Kaden trails off, he focuses his attention on the second thought]

She'll be okay. [he hopes. it may be a hope, but the way he says it is firm] A few of my other friends are affected, too. But I won't rest until I find a way to help them.

[foxtastic]

Won't rest? [ huh. ] That doesn't sound good for you... don't you humans need to sleep?

[ but he knows it's just a phrase denoting how serious Akira is. he gets it! which is why he nods, smiles knowingly... ]

Well, I'll make sure to keep an eye out on your Makoto. She was still very kind, and did seem to care about you a lot.

[ enough to shoulder all the pain. ]

[purrtagonist]

Sleep is optional.

[NO IT ISN'T AKIRA]

And. . . thanks. I appreciate it.

[truly. he'll have his hands full, so it'll help to have someone else keeping an eye out on his friends for him]
